EMC installation guidelines Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations, to minimize electromagnetic interference between equipment and minimize the effect such interference could have on the performance of your system Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is not compromised. Note: In areas of extreme EMC interference, some slight interference may be noticed on the product. Where this occurs the product and the source of the interference should be separated by a greater distance. For optimum EMC performance we recommend that wherever possible: • Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are: – At least 1 m (3 ft) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case Dragonfly® 6/ Dragonfly® 7 of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m). – More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. • The product is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. This is important to prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine start does not have a separate battery. • Raymarine specified cables are used. • Cables are not cut or extended, unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual. Note: Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the above recommendations, always ensure the maximum possible separation between different items of electrical equipment, to provide the best conditions for EMC performance throughout the installation Warranty policy Your product is warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 year from the date of first purchase of the product or, if installed on a new boat, the date of first boat delivery to the Original Customer (please retain proof of purchase in case you need to claim).

CHIRP DownVisionTM overview DownVisionTM produces a wide–angle side-to-side beam and a thin fore-to-aft beam. The coverage of the DownVisionTM beam is a water column directly beneath and to the sides of the vessel. DownVisionTM beam D12777-2 DownVisionTM is effective at lower vessel speeds. In deeper waters the CHIRP bandwidth is automatically optimized to improve bottom lock and the detection of moving objects (e.g. fish) in the wider water column. The wide, thin beam produces clear target returns. The use of CHIRP processing and a higher operating frequency provide a more detailed image, making it easier to identify bottom structures around which fish may reside.

Planning the installation 19 3.7 Selecting a location for the transducer 3 This product is supplied with a transom mount transducer. The guidelines below should be followed when selecting a location for the transducer. 1 2 Note: The transducer is not suitable for mounting on vessels where the transom is aft of the propeller(s). 4 For best performance the transducer must be installed in a location with the least turbulence and aeration. The most effective way to determine this is by checking the water flow around the transom whilst underway. • The transducer should be mounted close to the keel (centreline) of the vessel, so that the transducer remains fully submerged when the vessel is turning. • The transducer must be mounted a suitable distance from the propeller(s) to avoid wake. • For clockwise rotating propellers the transducer should be mounted on the starboard side, for anti-clockwise rotating propellers the transducer should be mounted on the port side. D12636-1 1 Step 2 Rib 3 Row of rivets 4 Strake • Air trapped under the front of the vessel can travel under the hull and appear as aeration aft. • If installing on the step of a stepped transom, allow sufficient room above the transducer for transducer kick-up. D12644-1 D12640-1 • On a twin engine vessel the transducer should be mounted between the engines. Note: Optimum transducer location will vary depending on vessel type. Optimum transducer height and angle should be obtained by testing the transducer with the vessel in the water before locking the transducer’s position. Transducer dimensions B The transducer’s dimensions including the mounting bracket are shown below. D12641-1 • Turbulence can also be caused by a number of other factors such as steps, ribs, strakes, and rows of rivets. The turbulence appears aft of these locations. 20 A D12638-1 A 202.6 mm (8 in) B 117.4 mm (4.6 in) Dragonfly® 6/ Dragonfly® 7 3.8 Cable routing 3.9 Selecting a location for the display Cable routing requirements for the transducer cable. General location requirements Important: To avoid interference, the cable must be routed as far away from VHF radio antenna cables as possible. • The cable can be routed through or over the transom. • Check that the cable is long enough to reach the equipment that it will be connected to. An optional 4 m (13.1 ft) extension cable is available if required. • Ensure there is enough slack in the transducer cable, at the transducer end, to allow the transducer to pivot up and down. • Secure the cable at regular intervals using the supplied cable clips. • Fill all transom mounting holes with marine-grade sealant prior to tightening securing screws. • Fill the transom cable hole with marine-grade sealant after routing the cable (if routing through the transom). • Use the supplied escutcheon to cover over the transom cable hole (if routing through the transom). • Any excess cable can be coiled up at a convenient location. When selecting a location for the unit it is important to consider a number of factors. Ventilation requirements To provide adequate airflow: • Ensure that equipment is mounted in a compartment of suitable size. • Ensure that ventilation holes are not obstructed. • Ensure adequate separation of equipment. Mounting surface requirements Ensure units are adequately supported on a secure surface. Do NOT mount units or cut holes in places which may damage the structure of the vessel. Cable routing requirements Ensure the unit is mounted in a location which allows proper routing and connection of cables: • Minimum cable bend radius of 100 mm (3.94 in) is required unless otherwise stated. • Use cable supports to prevent stress on connectors. Electrical interference Select a location that is far enough away from devices that may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitters/receivers. GPS location requirements In addition to general guidelines concerning the location of marine electronics, there are a number of environmental factors to consider when installing equipment with an internal GPS antenna. Mounting location • Above Decks mounting: It is recommended that the display is mounted above decks as this provides optimal GPS performance. • Below Decks mounting: GPS performance may be less effective when mounted below decks. Vessel construction The construction of your vessel can have an impact on GPS performance. For example, the proximity of heavy structures such as a structural bulkhead, or the interior of larger vessels may result in a reduced GPS signal. Before locating equipment with an internal GPS antenna below decks, seek professional assistance. Prevailing conditions The weather and location of the vessel can affect the GPS performance. Typically calm clear conditions provide for a more accurate GPS fix. Vessels at extreme northerly or southerly latitudes may also receive a weaker GPS signal. GPS antenna mounted below decks will be more susceptible to performance issues related to the prevailing conditions. Planning the installation 21 5.7 inch display product dimensions When choosing a suitable location for the display you should aim to maintain the maximum possible distance between the display and any compasses. Typically this distance should be at least 1 m (3 ft) in all directions. However for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to locate the display this far away from a compass.

Mounting 31 4.8 Testing the transducer 4.9 Finishing the transducer mounting Once the initial mounting procedures have been carried out, the transducer must be tested prior to finishing the mounting. Once you have achieved optimum performance at the desired vessel speeds the transducer must be locked into position to finish the installation. The testing should be carried out with your vessel in the water, with a depth greater than 0.7 m (2.3 ft) but less than the maximum depth limit of the system. The Sonar application will be able to maintain readings at depths greater than the DownVision application. Note: It may not always be possible to obtain depth readings at higher speeds due to air bubbles passing under the transducer. 1. Press and hold the Power button until a beep is heard. 2. Complete the Start-up wizard settings. 3. Use the View switcher to open a view which contains the Sonar or DownVision application. If the unit is operating correctly the bottom should be visible on-screen and the depth reading displayed. 4. Start moving your vessel at a low speed and ensure the depth reading and bottom are shown and that you have a clear image on-screen. 5. Gradually increase the vessel speed up to your usual cruising speed, whilst checking the display if the image becomes poor, starts skipping or missing the bottom then the transducer needs to be adjusted. 6. Height and angle adjustments should be made in small increments, and re-tested each time until you obtain optimum performance. 7. To adjust the angle of the transducer loosen the pivot bolt approximately 3 turns and then pivot the transducer either up or down. 8. Re-tighten the pivot bolt before re-testing. 9. When you achieve optimum performance at the desired vessel speeds you can finish the transducer mounting. Note: If the transducer requires repositioning ensure all old holes are filled with marine grade sealant. 1. Loosen the kick-up adjustment screw. 2. Lift up the transducer and bracket pivot arm to gain access to the mounting holes. 3. Drill the locking hole location taking care not to damage the mounting bracket. 4. Fill the locking hole with marine grade sealant. 5. Secure the transducer and bracket by fully tightening all 3 mounting screws. 6. Push the transducer and pivot arm down until it clicks into position. 7. Re-tighten the kick-up adjustment screw to the desired level. Note: The Kick-up adjustment screw needs to be tight enough to prevent kick-up during high speeds but loose enough to enable the kick-up feature to activate if an object hits the transducer when underway. Note: It may be necessary to make several adjustments to the transducer before obtaining optimum performance. 32 Dragonfly® 6/ Dragonfly® 7 Chapter 5: Cables and connections Chapter contents • • 5.1 General cabling guidance on page 34 5.2 Cable connection on page 34 Cables and connections 33 5.1 General cabling guidance 5.2 Cable connection Cable types and length The display has a combined power and transducer cable that is attached to the transducer.

A higher figure signifies a greater positional error. A typical receiver has an accuracy of between 5 and 15 m. As an example, assuming a receiver error of 5 m, an HDOP of 2 would represent an error of approximately 15 m. Please remember that even a very low HDOP figure is NO guarantee that your receiver is providing an accurate position. If in doubt, check the displayed vessel position in the Chart application against your actual proximity to a known charted object. • Estimated Horizontal Position Error (EHPE) — EHPE is a measure of the estimated error of a position fix in the horizontal plane. The value displayed indicates that your position is within a circle radius of the stated size 50% of the time. • Fix status — indicates the actual mode the receiver is reporting: You should see: Your vessel position (indicates a GPS fix). Your current position is represented by a vessel symbol or solid circle. Your position is also displayed in the data cell on the bottom right of the display. A solid circle on the chart indicates that the vessel speed is to low (i.e. less than 0.15 kts) to provide Course Over Ground (COG) data. Note: It is recommended that you check the displayed vessel position in the Chart application against your actual proximity to a known charted object. GPS receivers typically have an accuracy of between 5 m and 15 m. Note: A GPS Status screen is available from the Tools & Settings page. This provides satellite signal strength and other relevant information. – Fix — Satellite fix has been acquired. – No Fix — No satellite fix can be acquired. – D Fix — A differential beacon fix has been acquired. – SD Fix — A differential satellite fix has been acquired. • Position — Displays the latitude and longitude position of your receiver. • Date / Time — Displays the current date and time generated by the position fix in UTC format . • Mode — Identifies wether the receiver is working in differential mode or non-differential mode. • Datum — The receiver's datum setting affects the accuracy of the vessel position information displayed in the Chart application.

Dragonfly® 6/ Dragonfly® 7 8.2 Electronic charts overview Your multifunction display includes basic world base maps. Electronic charts provide additional cartographic information. The level of cartographic detail shown varies for different chart types, geographic locations and chart scales. The chart scale in use is indicated by the on-screen scale indicator, the value displayed is the distance that the line represents across the screen. You can remove and insert chart cards at any time. The chart screen is automatically redrawn when the system detects that a compatible chart card has been inserted or removed. Using a dual view page it is possible to display different cartography types simultaneously. Raster charts are an exact copy / scan of an existing paper chart. All information is embedded directly in the chart. Ranging in and out of raster charts will make everything appear larger or smaller on the screen, including text. When changing the Chart application’s orientation everything on the chart will rotate, including the text. As raster charts are a scanned image the file size is normally bigger when compared to the vector equivalent. Vector charts Caution: Care of chart and memory cards To avoid irreparable damage to and / or loss of data from chart and memory cards: • DO NOT save data or files to a card containing cartography as the charts may be overwritten. • Ensure that chart and memory cards are fitted the correct way around. DO NOT try to force a card into position. • DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a screwdriver or pliers to insert or remove a chart or memory card. LightHous e CHARTS Vector charts are computer generated, consisting of a series of points and lines that make up the chart. Chart objects and overlays on vector charts can be switched on and off and chart objects can be selected to provide further information. Ranging in and out of vector charts will make geographical features appear larger or smaller on the screen, however text and chart objects will remain the same size regardless of range. When changing the Chart application’s orientation geographical features will rotate but text and chart objects will remain in the correct orientation for the display. As vector charts are generated rather than a scanned image the file size is normally smaller when compared to the raster equivalent.

Your multifunction display can create waypoints, which can then be selected for active navigation. There are a range of features for placing, navigating and managing waypoints, these can be accessed from the Waypoints menu and Waypoint context menu. Waypoints are represented on-screen using customizable waypoint symbols. Waypoint can be created, moved, deleted, exported to memory card or imported from a memory card. Waypoint display examples Waypoints in the chart application Example 2 — DownVision application In the chart application both active and inactive waypoints are shown. An active waypoint is the one that you are navigating to. 1 2 3 D11761-3 Item Description 1 Inactive waypoint 2 Active waypoint 3 Alternative waypoint symbols Waypoint context menu The waypoint context menu shows the waypoint's positional data and related menu items. The default waypoint symbol is a red ‘X’. Alternative symbols can be used if required. Waypoints in the sonar and DownVision applications Waypoints can be placed in the Sonar and DownVision applications.

The Sonar application uses the internal sonar module and a DownVision™ transducer to produce a detailed view of fish and the bottom under your vessel, enabling you to accurately distinguish between different sizes of fish, bottom structure, and underwater obstacles. The Sonar application uses CHIRP processing with a centered 200 KHz ping frequency, which provides less detail but greater depth range than the DownVision™ application. The Sonar application displays a scrolling image which scrolls from right to left across the screen. The Sonar application uses different colors to differentiate between target strengths. Colors used are dependent upon the color palette in use (for example the classic blue color palette uses blue to identify the weakest and red for the strongest). 2 1 • 10.4 Display options – Enabling / Disabling Target Depth ID – Enabling / Disabling Depth Lines Setting alarms (fish, depth or water temperature). • 12.1 Alarms Changing display mode (Zoom or A-Scope). • 10.4 Display options Changing the on-screen depth range. • 10.3 Range Adjusting Sensitivity Settings to help optimize and simplify the displayed image. • 10.5 Sensitivity adjustments – Changing the display mode The sonar image 3 Interpreting the bottom using sonar 4 It is important to understand how to correctly interpret the bottom structure represented on-screen. 5 The bottom usually produces a strong echo. 6 The following images show how different bottom conditions are represented on-screen: 7 8 1 9 D12782-1 Depth reading — Current bottom depth. 2 Scrolling paused — Scrolling pauses when the Joystick is used to move the cursor around the screen). 3 Depth lines — Horizontal dashed lines drawn at regular intervals to indicate the depth from the surface. 4 Cursor — Displayed in cursor mode. 5 Bottom line — Displays a thick line to identify the bottom. 6 Depth markers — These numbers indicate depth. 7 Speed — Current vessel Speed Over Ground (SOG). 8 Water temperature — Current water temperature. 9 Depth Target ID — Depths are displayed against recognized targets. The sensitivity of these IDs is directly linked to the Fish Alarm sensitivity; the greater the fish alarm sensitivity, the greater the number of labelled returns.

The dark layers indicate a good echo; the lighter areas indicate weaker echoes. This could mean that the upper layer is soft and therefore allowing sound waves to pass to the more solid layer below. It is also possible that the sound waves are making two complete trips – hitting the bottom, bouncing off the vessel, then reflecting off the bottom again. This can happen if the water is shallow or the bottom is hard. – Placing a waypoint Dragonfly® 6/ Dragonfly® 7 Factors influencing the sonar image 10.2 Sonar application controls The quality and accuracy of the display can be influenced by a number of factors including vessel speed, depth, object size and background noise. The Sonar applications consists of 2 modes: Scrolling mode and Cursor mode. The behavior of some controls are dependent upon mode. Options and settings can also be accessed from the Sonar context menu. Scrolling mode Vessel speed The shape of the target changes along with your speed. Slower speeds return flatter, more horizontal marks. Higher speeds cause the target to thicken and arch slightly, at fast speeds the mark resembles a double vertical line. Target depth The closer the target to the surface, the larger the mark on screen. The depth of individual targets can be displayed by switching on the Target Depth ID in the sonar menu Menu > Display Options. The number of target depths displayed is influenced by the fish alarm sensitivity level. Water depth As water depth increases signal strength decreases, resulting in a lighter on-screen image of the bottom. Size of the target The larger the target, the larger the return on-screen. The size of a fish target is also dependent upon the size of the fish’s swim bladder rather than its overall size. The swim bladder varies in size between different breeds of fish. Clutter / Background noise The sonar image may be impaired by echoes received from floating or submerged debris, particulate matter (such as plankton, phytoplankton, or silt etc.), air bubbles or even the vessel's movement. This is known as ‘background noise’ or ‘clutter’ and is controlled by the Sensitivity settings. If required you can adjust the setting manually. Scrolling mode is the default mode for the Sonar application. In Scrolling mode a rolling image is displayed which scrolls from right to left across the screen. In Scrolling mode the controls behave as follows: • with Range set to Manual, turning the Rotary control clockwise and anti-clockwise ranges in and out. • pressing the Joystick’s Ok button opens the application menu. • pressing the Back button opens the View switcher. • moving the Joystick in any direction enters Cursor mode. Cursor mode In Cursor mode the scrolling image is paused and the cursor can be moved around the screen. In Cursor mode the controls behave as follows: • with Range set to Manual, turning the Rotary control clockwise and anti-clockwise ranges in and out. • moving the Joystick in any direction moves the cursor around the screen. • pressing the Joystick’s Ok button opens the context menu. • pressing the Back button returns the application to Scrolling mode. Sonar application 75 Menus and dialogs 10.3 Range With a menu or dialog open the controls behave as follows: The Range and Range Shift functions enable you to change the range of depth displayed on-screen. Changes to the Range and Range shift will apply to both the Sonar and DownVision applications. • The Rotary control or the Joystick can be used to scroll through the menu available options. • Pressing the Joystick’s Ok button selects the highlighted option or confirms and dismisses pop up messages. • pressing the Back button returns to the previous menu or closes the menu. Placing a waypoint To place a waypoint follow the steps below. 1. Use the Joystick to highlight the desired location with the cursor. 2. Press the OK button. The context menu is displayed. 3. Select Place Waypoint. A confirmation pop up message is displayed. 4. Select Ok to place the waypoint, or Edit to edit the waypoint details. A waypoint is placed at the cursor’s location. Sonar context menu The Sonar application includes a context menu which provides data and shortcuts to menu items. Range The Range function enables you to define the range of depth that you see on-screen. By default, the range is set to automatic, this adjusts the range to ensure the bottom is always displayed on-screen. This is useful for locating bigger fish and other objects located closer to the bottom such as wrecks There may be circumstances in which you want to see a more detailed image showing less depth beneath your vessel. This is useful for finding smaller fish that feed nearer the surface Range Shift The Range Shift function enables you to define which area of the overall depth you want to be able to see on-screen. For example, if your range is 250 feet and the display is showing the surface (0 feet) at the very top of the display, and 250 feet at the bottom of the display, you can use the Range Shift function to focus on a different 250 feet range. For example, 20 feet at the very top of the screen, and 270 feet at the very bottom of the screen. Changing the depth range You can choose from either: • Automatic adjustment whereby the display automatically shows the shallowest required range. The context menu provides the data for the position of the cursor: • Depth • Range The context menu also provides the following menu items: • Place Waypoint • Adjust Sonar — (opens the Adjust Sonar menu.) Accessing the context menu You can access the context menu by following the steps below. 1. Use the Joystick to highlight an object or area. 2. Press the OK button. The context menu is displayed. 76 • Manual adjustment of the depth range, up to the maximum depth allowed by the Fishfinder application. From the Fishfinder application menu: 1. Select Range. 2.

Position and fix information Sky view • Celsius • Square — A square identifies an (SBAS) differential satellite. • High Restart GPS • Fahrenheit • Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP) — HDOP is a measure of satellite navigation accuracy, calculated from a number of factors including satellite geometry, system errors in the data transmission and system errors in the receiver. A higher figure signifies a greater positional error. A typical receiver has an accuracy of between 5 and 15 m. As an example, assuming a receiver error of 5 m, an HDOP of 2 would 93 represent an error of approximately 15 m. Please remember that even a very low HDOP figure is NO guarantee that your receiver is providing an accurate position. If in doubt, check the displayed vessel position in the Chart application against your actual proximity to a known charted object. • Estimated Horizontal Position Error (EHPE) — EHPE is a measure of the estimated error of a position fix in the horizontal plane. The value displayed indicates that your position is within a circle radius of the stated size 50% of the time. • Fix status — indicates the actual mode the receiver is reporting: – Fix — Satellite fix has been acquired. – No Fix — No satellite fix can be acquired. – D Fix — A differential beacon fix has been acquired. – SD Fix — A differential satellite fix has been acquired. Sonar Set-up menu The Sonar Set-up menu provides the following options. Depth Offset: • –9.8 to +9.8 feet — Offset represents or equivalent units the depth of the transducer relative to: • Waterline = 0.0 ft and above. • Keel = 0.1 ft and below. Sonar Reset Restore all settings on the sonar module to factory default. When performing a Sonar Reset, it is normal to briefly lose connection with the sonar module. • Yes • No • Position — Displays the latitude and longitude position of your receiver. • Date / Time — Displays the current date and time generated by the position fix in UTC format . • Mode — Identifies wether the receiver is working in differential mode or non-differential mode. • Datum — The receiver's datum setting affects the accuracy of the vessel position information displayed in the Chart application. In order for your receiver and MFD to correlate accurately with your paper charts, they must be using the same datum. COG/SOG Filter The COG/SOG filter averages the velocity vectors to compensate for the oscillating motion of the vessel, giving a clearer indication of the vessel’s course and speed. The filter does not affect the calculation of your receiver’s reported position. The velocity vectors calculated from the signal provide an instantaneous measure of speed and direction of the receiver. The COG and SOG can therefor seem erratic under certain conditions. For example, when a vessel is moving slowly through rough seas, the receiver moves from side to side as well as in the direction of travel. Slow moving vessels, or vessels sailing in rough seas will benefit from a high setting, whereas a power boat that can quickly change speed and direction will benefit from a low setting. 94 Dragonfly® 6/ Dragonfly® 7 Time and Date set-up You can specify your preference for the way that time and date will appear in all applications.

Please refer all maintenance and repair to authorized Raymarine dealers. Unauthorized repair may affect your warranty. Best cleaning practices. Routine equipment checks Raymarine strongly recommends that you complete a number of routine checks to ensure the correct and reliable operation of your equipment. When cleaning this product: • Do NOT wipe the display screen with a dry cloth, as this could scratch the screen coating. • Do NOT use abrasive, or acid or ammonia based products. • Do NOT use a jet wash. Complete the following checks on a regular basis: • Examine all cables for signs of damage or wear and tear. • Check that all cables are securely connected. Cleaning the display case The display unit is a sealed unit and does not require regular cleaning. If it is necessary to clean the unit, follow this basic procedure: 1. Switch off the power to the display. 2. Wipe the display with a clean, soft cloth (a microfibre cloth is ideal). 3. If necessary, use a mild detergent to remove grease marks. Note: Do NOT use solvents or detergents on the screen itself. Note: In certain conditions, condensation may appear inside the display screen. This will not harm the unit, and can be cleared by powering on the display for a short time. Cleaning the display screen A coating is applied to the display screen. This makes it water repellent, and prevents glare. To avoid damaging this coating, follow this procedure: 1. Switch off the power to the display. 2. Rinse the screen with fresh water to remove all dirt particles and salt deposits. 3. Allow the screen to dry naturally. 4. If any smears remain, very gently wipe the screen with a clean microfibre cleaning cloth (available from an opticians). 100 Dragonfly® 6/ Dragonfly® 7 13.3 Transducer cleaning Growth can collect on the bottom of the transducer, this can reduce performance. To prevent the build up of sea growth, coat the transducer with a thin layer of water based antifouling paint, available from your local marine dealer. Reapply paint every 6 months or at the beginning of each boating season. Certain smart transducers have restrictions on where antifouling paint is applied. Please consult your dealer. Note: Transducers with a temperature sensor may not work properly if painted. Note: Never use ketone based paint. Ketones can attack many plastics possibly damaging the sensor. Note: Never use spray paint on your transducer. Spraying incorporates tiny air bubbles, and a marine transducer cannot transmit properly through air. Use a soft cloth and mild household detergent to clean the transducer. If the fouling is severe, remove the growth with a green scotch briteTM pad. Be careful to avoid scratching the transducers face. If your transducer has a paddlewheel you can wet sand with fine grade wet/dry paper. Note: Harsh cleaning solvents such as acetone may damage the transducer.
